Free Republic

<p>I pray FR survives this election. Our forum has never been so divided. But even more so, I pray our divided nation survives. If traitor Hillary or communist Sanders is elected, it will be difficult to continue as a free nation without invoking certain clauses in the Declaration. Our constitution is certainly being put to the test.</p>

127 Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. Since I called this race six months ago predicting it would be Trump and Cruz when everyone else was for Bush/Perry/Walker it is time to break down the two candidates before the actual voting occurs. I do not carry the baggage of working for an outlet or live in the Corridor or am even a Repub; it gives an objectivity and freedom none of the Echo Chamber has. If either one of them were...

"You mentioned making the service better for our customers; but the American citizens aren't our customers--about 400 junk mailers are our customers.", said US Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe to Outbox founder Evan Baehr. The Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) top Midwest official knew about the Flint, Michigan drinking water crisis of 2015 months before telling the public, according to a Tuesday report by the The Detroit News. You can't judge the motives of individuals. But these government agencies and pandemic-mega-corporations aren't individuals. Therefore, it's fair to observe, that their behavior reveals their group motives, that "by their fruits you shall know...

Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Matthew 6:19-21 KJV The Oregon Standoff reads like an old western movie where the evil Land Baron buys all of the surrounding land for pennies around one rancher then tries to squeeze him out of his land. The only thing this one does not...

For a five year period of time, the term “Natural Born Citizen” had a definition which differed from the “two-citizen parents, born under United States jurisdiction” description generally accepted for most of this nation’s existence. The Nationality Act of 1790 referred to those born to citizens beyond Sea or out of the limits of the United States as being “natural born citizens”. Because of the term “citizens” as it pertains to parentage, there is an argument to be made that this requires two citizen parents for this to be allowed. Below is a quote from the 1790 Act. Since this...

Ok, now I'm confused. I do not think the ATF would have Obama's Executive Order implemented BEFORE the EO is even issued, right? Well, here's the ATF Brochure on when you need an FFL, and the text largely mimics his E0 -- at least the preview, anyways. DO I NEED A LICENSE TO BUY AND SELL FIREARMS? Guidance to help you understand when a Federal Firearms License is required under federal lawHere is this brochure's copy. I'm not certain if the brochure is new, but I suspect it has been there for a while:Here is OTrauma's EO copy: A person...

In the last day or so, a very dangerous situation has emerged in Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, near the town of Burns, Oregon. Ammon Bundy and about a dozen men, armed with firearms, have occupied a closed Federal building on that property. The local Sheriff has backed down, and there are rumors of Special Response Teams staging nearby. This building is a smallish, very isolated building in the middle of a large National Refuge. Someone posted on a thread under a Guardian news article about this, "I'm in Oregon. These guys took over a headquarters building but it's kinda like...

Sundance at The Conservative Tree House has written posts commenting on Ted Cruz's proselytizing as an electoral campaign strategy. Freepers have seen at least a couple of examples of this strategy recently, with threads being posted about Cruz calling on supporters to "don the full armor of God" to resist "incoming attacks" (presumably from dark forces!), or that the "Body of Christ" must be energized to gain the victory. This type of rhetoric is also heavily prominent in his campaign fund raising. One of the more epic and cringe inducing examples comes from an apparent leak by the Cruz campaign...

Exodus 1:10 Come, we must deal shrewdly with them or they will become even more numerous and, if war breaks out, will join our enemies, fight against us and leave the country.” At the end of WWII when it was obvious to the Germans they would lose and did not have enough men to fight the allies they began a terrorist campaign. This campaign was an organized group of German terrorists called the Werwolf operation. This was an organized guerilla group of SS soldiers who committed terrorist acts behind allied lines obstructing freight and terrorizing the soldiers. They were a...

In the wake of 9/11, the Bush administration struggled to define the enemy and to decide how to defeat it. Even though 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudis and the Saudis were involved in the planning and financing of the attack, President Bush allowed the Saudis to fly out of the country in the next 24 hours when all other air traffic had been shut down. No doubt that Bush had decided to maintain good relations with the Arabs, and Saudi Arabia particularly, just as the US had done for half a century. This policy led Bush to say...

The Muslim invasion and conquest of Europe is almost complete. If and when the Europeans wake up and decide to defend their civilization, it's going to be a bloody house-to-house fight to root them out. Most Europeans will try to flee, but most will die because they are woefully unprepared to fight or fend for themselves. The Muslims take the easier, softer targets first, and that means they'll be coming here next. Russia is closer, but they will be much harder to conquer. And they feel pretty good about having one of their own in the WH. Obama is flinging...

And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins, Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, Luke 1:76-78 KJV Christmas is such an amazing time of the year. For the Christian this is the most holy of all holy days which gives them hope for the future as well as embracing their pasts. It brings joy and peace as they celebrate...

Many of us are carrying a burden of rejection and betrayal by the party we thought stood for strong Constitutional conservative values, Life, and family strength. For those of us who have voted, sacrificed, and worked for the GOP over decades, the disappointment with the National Party is deep. I have come to believe now, with recent passage of the Omnibus Bill sell out, that there is utterly no hope left for us left with the National Republican Party; and by default they no longer can be distinguished as a separate and viable opposition to the Democrat Party. In effect...

(Before I begin, I recommend Freepers read up on this thread here, which proves Cruz's support for legalization short of a pathway to citizenship both in 2013 and also after that, and then continue to read this thread) So, I've been getting spammed a whole lot by a bunch of rather vicious posters, and I realized a significant pattern in all of them: a failure to not appreciate the language behind all that this debate has been about (the debate on whether or not Cruz lied when he stated he never supported legalization). Nor do they appreciate that they are...

So I had a pollster challenge me to provide evidence that Cruz was not being honest on immigration. I've actually been doing so for months, but most people haven't seen or considered all the evidence. With the battle picking up between Trump and Cruz, I figured that now, more than ever, would be an important time to highlight this issue with Cruz's record: Okay, so Rubio accused Cruz of having supported an expansion of H1B visas and of legalizing illegal aliens. Cruz called these claims entirely false, and his surrogates have claimed that Cruz didn't actually support the bill in...

(This is continuing material from my forthcoming---I hope, bestselling---campaign biography of Trump) The last week has been astounding, especially if one follows the GOPe crowd on Twitter. These are Trump haters like many of you couldn't believe. They let no comment go un-zinged (always without context), and deliberately obtusely refuse to even try to understand the concerns that average people have---because, don't you know, they are so smart. What I have increasingly come to understand is that they do NOT want solutions, unless those solutions come entirely through the structures they have created. To us---to Trump's supporters and even to...

Go, Trump, GO!! Trounce the Marxist/fascist treasonous open borders establishment who are hellbent on destroying our Judeo-Christian society! Securing the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.

Trump is stepping into the vacuum created by George W "Islam is a religion of peace" Bush. It was expanded exponentially by Barack Hussein "I am a Christian" Obama. The rest of the candidates (with the exception of Cruz, perhaps) don't get it. The news coverage tonight is bi-polar.. News guests step up to the podium to declare their opposition to Trump's position. And then the next news story is how the San Bernardino muslims pulled off the execution of 14 innocent Americans. Trump is trashed in the first segment. Muslims are absolved in the next. And the carnage of...

For those of you who have been reading these semi-regular editorials, if you put them in a collection you'll probably have my next book, a campaign biography of Trump. In July I began to see a unique phenomenon in American politics---someone who was quite different than John Anderson, George Wallace, or Ross Perot: a serious candidate (as defined by wanting, and actually expecting to win) who was self funding, but without any party structure whatsoever. This has never happened before in the modern political era. Wallace, Anderson, Perot, and Nader all had rump breakaway parties from the mainstream parties, or,...
